Yeah, you have to do some magic to debug KLDs. Basically, you have to figure out where they were loaded by walking the module list, and then tell GDB where to find the TEXT section using add-symbol-file. Instructions for this are available at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-kld.html Good luck :) --Devon > Thank you for your help. > Regards, > -- > Jeremie Le Hen > < jeremie at le-hen dot org >< ttz at chchile dot org > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
